But at least it isn't private. None of the schools we've applied to are, and none will be. That isn't doing right by Godzilla - crosses the line into cotton wrapping Italian mammahood.

My Maw is like something I want to take medicine to get rid of - and then she does something - like learns how to load a new wifi code to her tablet or is the only one to remember how I like wee tiny surprises in a xmas stocking above anything else or loves my kids the same (only maybe even better) than me. And then I get angry she takes very little food with her salt or never exercises or... But I smoke. Only difference is I think my kids are either too young or too 'out there in wonderful selfish 20 something land' to think about loss.<br /><br />I've read your latest post so know about the disappointment and resignation. I'm sorry. <br /><br />There's no choice here really. Unless you can pay - and then it's a choice between creepy Steiner (gives me the willies) or academic super-bright baby factory type nurseries - so there's no choice. <br /><br />I adopted a 'right kid life can be shit and you need to learn to survive' - and tried to counterbalance as much as possible. They turned out ok. But I would say that.<br /><br />They've had a lot of freedom - living here in the village in the middle of a forest and on the banks of a river. So much freedom that I fretted continually that they'd burn to death (from campfires and camp-outs) or drown (when fishing at the dam).<br /><br />So much I couldn't control - and I hated that. <br /><br />I feel old and patronising because I fear the triteness of saying it'll all work out. I'm certain it will - that you'll find (or construct) a solution. It's just an exhausting process that would be good to avoid.sansserifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445280597626572292noreply@blogger.com
